<p>&nbsp;One of the amendments will limit the number of municipal councillors allowed to sit on an ARB panel.&nbsp; To assist municipalities, the MGB is establishing a list of ARB Members who are willing to hear complaints for multiple ARBs.&nbsp; This list will only be made available to certified ARB Clerks through our online e-learning system, CONTACT.</p>
<p>If you are a certified ARB Member and wish to be included in this list, please send the following to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:ma.arbadmin@gov.ab.ca">ma.arbadmin@gov.ab.ca</a>&nbsp;:&nbsp; first name, last name, phone number, email address, the municipality you reside in, and note if you are a municipal councillor.<br></p>
<p>If you are a certified ARB Clerk and wish to view the list, you must have access to CONTACT.&nbsp; If you do not have access, please email&nbsp;<a href="mailto:ma.arbadmin@gov.ab.ca">ma.arbadmin@gov.ab.ca</a>&nbsp;for assistance.</p>
<p>The MGB is here to support you through this transition and will email additional information about the changes to the&nbsp;MGA&nbsp;as it becomes available.&nbsp; The legislature recently made several significant amendments to the MGA, all of which we anticipate will come into effect for the next assessment season.</p>https://www.albertamunicipalclerks.com/News-Bulletins/4740077
